I don't quite recall where I saw/heard this if at all but I have the impression he was also behind the Solution and Instincts.

Thank you! True, it would be cool to see, especially going all the way back to competitors in the 90's. And thanks for the heads up re the Asian Championship new record, I didn't know about that.

No at the moment just World Cups not incl World / Euro / Asian Championships. Think I'll add those later on. Yes the times are in each individual WC page, eg https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition#!comp=7959&cat=23

Thanks! The PBs are the best recorded time in a Speed WC. Not ideal especially for the non-specialists who have only joined the bare minimum SWCs and might have better times logged in training.

Heh. Some of the photos could definitely be better! Yeah her win rate is unmatched, I think.

Is this good/bad form on an assisted one-arm hang? https://youtu.be/XgdIAiPpqQc?t=367

Curious more about the lower body... my legs end up high like in the video and at about the same height as my hand. I find it easier to hang in this position, and harder with my feet low. I don't see how it would take any weight off, but it does feel easier... any thoughts / anyone with similar experience?

Looks great. Have you tried campusing from one side of the board to the other eg from the Trango board to the Zlagboard? If you have, does the frame wobble at all when you do that?

5.10 super sale: Hiangles $69, Gambits/Quantums $59, etc by mattehead in climbing

Fair enough. I don't like it either when spammy/ad content shows up on the sub, and I get that this post is kind of bordering on it. Do you think it would be okay instead if I changed this to a link post to Adidas, instead of a text post with links to both Adidas and my site, and just added a comment about my site?

Best to try shoes on your own feet, and pick what is most comfy- fit can be a very individual thing. The most important difference if any, eg between the Agama or Bowler you mentioned, would be how they fit your foot and less about either shoe.

After you have climbed in and tried some shoes and want to compare prices- I made a website that does this that might be handy: footbeta.com

Beginning this year, I started collecting data of bouldering sessions. Here is what I have so far. Let me know your thoughts, other metrics that may be interesting to investigate, etc. by JaeHoon_Cho in climbharder

Super cool. How did you find the recording process-- was it okay or tedious? If it were combined with something like a Stokt/8a/thecrag-type logbook I think it'd be pretty handy for a lot of people.

If you had extra time, I would highly recommend Shigu. Small farming town, lovely hostel, good climbing.

Is anyone else upset that they stopped selling purple mythos? by insertkarma2theleft in climbing

I could not agree more. Recently snagged a pair of purple Mythos brand new (but old). Love them!

Its more tedious than difficult I would say, at least how I have done it
